Speed Is King

"BLOCK HIM!!" Lilith shrieked wildly to her seven Banshee Generals.

However, Lucifer's five Demon Generals were more than a match for them, and with their master being bullied like a little boy in the playground, their rage-fueled attacks were even able to push the seven Banshee Generals back slightly!

"HUMANS. JOIN ME IN BLOCKING HIM! HE WILL BE UNKILLABLE ONCE HE GETS BACK TO THE REALM OF SIN!" Lilith shrieked at Magius.

"No." Magius replied calmly. "Not until you pull back all your warriors from this realm and close all three portals."

"YOU DARE NEGOTIATE WITH ME??" Lilith screamed with furious shock.

"Lucifer is about to escape. Make your decision." Magius said to her calmly.

Lilith was no wishy washy grandma unable to make hard and fast decisions. As soon as Magius said those words, Lilith waved her hand lightly and forcibly closed all three portals which exploded with a loud bang!!

Powerful shockwaves erupted from the closed portals and wiped out a huge chunk of the demons that had established massive "beach heads" around them.

Lilith was vicious to the maximum.

With a single decision, she instantly killed millions or even billions of demons! Just to gain outside help to achieve her traitorous objective!

"Good." Magius smiled and instantly blinked to six different spots around Lucifer's escape portal.

He and his clones raised their staffs and unleashed their massive beams of blinding light on Lucifer once more, but this time, all of their attacks were perfectly coordinated onto one spot, Lucifer's right eye!

BSHHHH!!

Magius' attacks caught Lucifer by surprise, and instantly evaporated his eye ball!

"AWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!" Lucifer roared with rage as he shook his star-sized head wildly to shake off the shooting pain in his head.

But he was a massive target.

Even if he made aiming at his eyes nearly impossible by shaking his head so wildly, there were still many spots for Magius to aim for.

And all six being clones of himself made coordinating with each other the simplest thing ever.

So again and again, Magius unleashed beams of piercing, blinding light on Lucifer, and caused him to completely halt his advance!

There was no way Lucifer could bull through the beams of light the way that even powerful grizzlies wouldn't just charge blindly at six powerful lances that could easily spit him like meat over a camp fire.

His escape route was effectively blocked by Magius. All that was left was for Lilith to do her part and kill him!

"KEKEKEKEKE! WELL DONE, HUMAN!! MAKE SURE YOU DON'T HIT ME! IF YOU DO, I WILL EAT YOU LATER! NOW, MY UGLY LUCIFER, TIME TO DIE!!" Lilith shrieked gleefully and flung herself towards Lucifer!

Apparently she had grown tired of attacking from afar and decided to just tackle the wounded and half blinded Lucifer at melee range! 𝘧𝒓e𝑒𝑤e𝙗𝚗o𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝐜𝐨ｍ

A battle of the most epic proportions unfolded then.

Two ferocious beings both the size of supergiant stars colliding and slashing and biting and stabbing and kicking and punching at each other with strength that could destroy stars made for an extremely exciting show for Elliot, Alexander and Aleyria.

"Prepare yourselves." Alexander said softly. "Our chance to heavily wound Lilith as she kills Lucifer should come very soon. At my go, unleash everything you have on her. Go for the killing blows!"

"Understood." Aleyria said calmly.

Elliot nodded as well. It did not surprise him the slightest that the vastly more powerful Aleyria was actually listening to Alexander's instructions.

Alexander was extremely shrewd, and under his lead, Elliot knew that no opportunity would be left unexploited.

Lilith's destructive ethereal aura smashed and swirled with Lucifer's wave of death, each mostly cancelling the other out with little portions managing to latch on and deal damage to each other.

But the greatest damage came from their star sized limbs, where each strike contained the power of stars going supernova.

Each blocked strike caused shockwaves that rippled endlessly outwards to manifest, and each successful strike created holes in each other's bodies which could fit a thousand earths.

"We cannot carelessly join this fight." Aleyria warned them. "A single miscalculation would place us within the range of their powerful attacks, and if that happens, we would be dead for sure."

"Understood. We must be extremely precise with our attacks. Our clones will take the most dangerous paths. We will move alongside them." Alexander said as he nodded in agreement.

Elliot simple started to circulate his Cosmic Dragon Energy in response to their words and caused golden shells to appear around them both.

"These shells should be able to withstand a single blow from the two devils. They would give you a small buffer for mistakes. Don't worry too much." Elliot smiled at them.

They glanced at him in surprise.

Although Aleyria was much more powerful than him and could wield a much higher amount of energy, she was unable to create barriers that she could confidently say would be able to resist a single blow from those two monsters!

"I have infused principles of their Dark Runes into my spells. I can guarantee their effectiveness against the devils, don't worry." Elliot assured them.

"Good. In that case, your clones should do the same to our clones. That way, we would be able to have more time unleashing as much damage as possible on Lilith. If at all possible, it would be for the best if we can kill her as well." Alexander said grimly.

"All that will depend if Lucifer is able to press Lilith enough to show us her weakness. At the appropriate time, we need to signal to Magius so that Lucifer could deal some damage to her as well. Maybe we will get clues at that time." Elliot said.

"Excellent idea." Alexander agreed.

"I think we are all mistaken." Aleyria said softly. "Look. Lilith is being pushed back. Lucifer is slowly winning the fight against her!".

"Even with Magius and his staffs, Lucifer is winning?" Elliot said incredulously.

"We have wildly underestimated Lucifer." Alexander said grimly. "Apparently, he is stronger than Lilith."

"No… originally he isn't stronger than her. It's just that… He is no longer just Lucifer!" Elliot suddenly cried out.
